Holler

Literally it was the best one for its story. I was so much connected with the story that I dont ever wanna see its end. There were no twists no action no nothing just a beautiful story awesome dialogues and perfect acting makes it a fabulous film. This movie is someone who have patience and love to watch story based films. By the way I dont like ending so much,I was thinking that there should be something bad with that owner of scrap. But it was nothing like that,yeah but who cares still a good ending.

Ruth Avery (Jessica Barden) is a teenager living in a dying industrial American town. With her older brother, they steal recyclables to sell to a junkyard owned by Hark. Their home is under eviction threat. Their mother Rhonda is in jail and struggling to find rehab. She herself is struggling to graduate from high school since she keeps skipping to go work. She gets an opportunity to attend college, but there are overwhelming hurdles.

This movie paints a compelling picture of a place and a social class. It sets up for a compelling story. Although this story misses some opportunities for greater drama. I'm just looking for a bigger story. I actually thought the brother was the one killed during the incident. That would have been dramatic. Jessica Barden is great, but she is getting a little too old to play a teenager. All in all, this sets up for something good, but the potential is not fully realized.

I lived this story in the Rustbelt of Ohio. Dad wouldn't pay for college because he didn't believe God wanted girls to be educated. Discovered Early Admissions to the local college but never knew I could've gone anywhere else. Worked for 18 years bartending and waiting tables to finally get my Ph. D. This movie is authentic.

Depressing topic but just right for everything and so real and good drama and leading actress just awesome ! Nothing huge about this movie but just got its charm.

A film about a young girl living in a town with few opportunities. Just to get by she has to help her brother steal trash that they go through for scrap metal. Which seems to be the only way of making any money in the town. This is probably the story of so many small towns in America. Manufacturing has definitely led to a dead end despite it's seemingly infinite promise throughout the 50s - the 2000s. The industry of industry is dying out. Jobs are sold to other countries because of globalization. Eventually they too will be writing stories like this one when capitalistic manufacturing reaches the end of it's road. Some other countries are just now experiencing their capitalist boom.

It tells the story of so many people these days. Poor. Addicted. Downtrodden. All of the actors did a fantastic job. There were a few parts that stuck out to me so the movie is "salvageable." I learned a little bit about what scrapping actually means and the film did a good job of metaphorically telling the tale of people who barely get by and must turn to the scraps.

One or two lines really stuck out for me and I wouldn't really call them spoilers but I'd love to share them: ("Talking to the guys in this town is all the birth control I'll ever need.")

("You'd scrap anything." ..."Yeah, so would you.") That was my favorite moment of the film.
